JohnPaulJustLikeThePope: January 2012
http://johnpauljustlikethepope.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 20, 2012. John versus the Board of Ed, et al. The acrimony surrounding the state of our school down the road is almost as upsetting as the conditions inside the school, itself. This sort of upheaval, dividing parents and administrators, including calls for dismissal and wide-ranging expressions of disgust are not an unexpected response when the fortunes of our children are at stake. The desire to move to a color blind culture is the noble imperative behind the legislation that put childre...

Monday, October 3, 2011. When the tornadoes come. There is no warning. There is no remembering. Only debris to remind you of their path. Fortune favors no one. When the gyres wind up your world. And toss it to the sky. Scattering far and wide. What on earth was home and heaven. But will we survive? Time will tell, and soon. When the tornadoes come. That is all that is certain.

Wednesday, March 14, 2012. Obesity is becoming more and more common, and especially among the poor. This promises to eviscerate the quality of life of people who otherwise could be expected to thrive. This is not a situation where the solution can come from government doing for people what they can not do for themselves. Rather, people, individuals and families, will have to change their own lifestyles from what is prevalent today. It is time to require those who receive health coverage from the state to...

Saturday, June 25, 2011. There is nothing so special. As the sound of rain. Falling on a million leaves. Early in the morning. Early in the summer. Along the shores of Black Pond. The sound of a bull frog. Carries across the pond. And returns an echo. Off the far stone wall. This is the pond I sailed. With my wonderful daughter. Delighting in every step. Of rigging the mast, boom and sail. We did not have enough time that that day. To make it to the far shore. Someday perhaps we will. Blues and Views 1.

JohnPaulJustLikeThePope: May 2012
http://johnpauljustlikethepope.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 23, 2012. This law is changing due to the leadership of those who saw the wisdom of putting the needs of a patient above the wants and desires of crooks, cops, and pharmaceutical companies. Voters need to be careful to elect leaders who have the agility to change when what we are doing is not working for people whose skin in the game is nothing less than their own skin. Tuesday, May 8, 2012. A road well ridden. Free to stop to hear. I pause to take a picture. Of animals along the way.

JohnPaulJustLikeThePope: September 2011
http://johnpauljustlikethepope.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 19, 2011. I walked again today. Along a familiar way. The sights were all the same,. Only my mood has changed. An old friend came driving by. Offering me a ride. I declined with a smile. I need to feel my feet" was all I said. It is a fine thing to return to a place. That long ago was your home. The sights are mainly the same,. But my mood has changed. Some bushes have grown taller. Some trees older than I have fallen. By storm or saw, it matters not how. The children that used to play.

Friday, February 21, 2014. Gold Medal For Kevin Dineen. A thrilling end of regulation play in the ladies gold medal hockey game. With a minute to go and the Canadians on the attack with an extra skater, trailing by one, a linesman commits a cardinal sin of officiating and interferes with play on the blue line. An American plays the puck down the ice towards the empty net,. and it hits the post! Il reviendra dans les séries éliminatoires et son équipe se rallierait de deux buts &agrav...Let 's Go Whalers!
